One of the important humanitarian by-products of technology is the greater dignity and value that it imparts to human labour. In a highly industrialized society, there is no essential difference between Brahmin and Dalit, Muslim and Hindu; they are equally useful and hence equally valuable for in the industrial society individual productivity fixes the size of the pay cheque and this fixes social status.

The passage best supports the statement that:

  • A.technology decides individual's social status.
  • B.castes and religions are man-made.
  • C.human labour has dignity and value.
  • D.all individuals, irrespective of caste and creed, are born equal.
  • E.industrial society is a great leveller of men.

Answer: C

Correct answer: human labour has dignity and value.

The first sentence names the theme outright - technology imparts greater dignity and value to human labour - and the rest of the passage simply explains how: in an industrial society productivity, not birth, fixes pay and therefore status.

The mention of Brahmin and Dalit, Muslim and Hindu is evidence for that claim, not the claim itself, which is why the options about social status and about caste being man-made pick up a supporting detail and mistake it for the theme.
